U23s Draw Away Against Swans - Ipswich Town News
Zak Brown netted a penalty for the Blues’ 10-man U23s as they drew 1-1 at Swansea with Kai Brown having seen an earlier spot-kick saved and Cameron Humphreys sent off late on.
Kai Brown was felled in the box in the 18th minute but Swans keeper Josh Gould saved his penalty. The home side took the lead three minutes later via Ali Al-Hamadi.
Zak Brown (pictured) levelled for the Blues midway through the second half from the spot, also having been fouled in the area.
